[QUOTE="ATL713, post: 246909, member: 45080"] Hi- Just wanted to thank everyone who shares information here, it's been great to learn, and I thought I would share my story in case it's helpful to anyone. I'm 43 and married. We have a great sex life even with a young child, having sex about twice a week. Together for 12 years, all is good. I also was a pretty regular consumer of online porn and masturbation, partaking in that on most nights. In some ways, it was just a routine for me. Wife goes to bed, I fire up the pronhub. A couple months ago I realized that the porn wasn't really exciting me like it used it. It felt good and all, but it just wasn't very compelling. I would search and search for something that really got me going, and that was taking more and more time. I also noticed that my libido was lagging. I still enjoyed sex, I just didn't think about it nearly as much as I used to, didn't crave it like I once did. Additionally, orgasms felt less intense. My erections were also lagging a bit - it would take longer to get fully hard, and I would lose my erection faster. My penis felt less sensitive. I used to be able to get hard just by thinking about sex, but no longer. My refractory period also increased; I used to be able to go back-to-back pretty quickly. Now sometimes on my second try with my wife I just couldn't orgasm unless I used my hand and really went after it. There also just feels like there is less blood in my penis these days when I'm not erect. It feels kinda empty. I've been taking my blood pressure regularly and it's in the 135/85 range. My lipids are not great: 273 mg/dL, triglycerides 213 mg/dL, HDL 57 mg/dL, LDL 173.4 mg/dL. Honestly my diet isn't great either. I have too much of a sweet tooth, and consume too much sugar on a daily basis. I frequently eat snacks right before bed, often times frozen meals that are super high in fat and sodium.

I'm not overweight, and am in pretty good shape – play sports several times a week and lift once a week. I've been about the same weight, +/- 5 lbs, for the past 5+ years. Anyway, it's the erection stuff that bothers me most and that's how I found this board. I want to feel like my penis is full again. I want to have that strong libido again, and be able to go back-to-back with my wife like I used to. I want to be able to get erections quickly again.
